Frequently asked questions about air quality testing

Indoor air quality testing measures contaminants inside your home, such as fine particles, carbon dioxide and humidity. It gives you an objective picture of the air you breathe instead of relying on guesswork. With that information in hand, it becomes much easier to target the right solutions.
You should consider testing your home’s air quality when you notice lingering odours, condensation or recurring allergy symptoms indoors. It is also a smart move after renovations or when buying a property, so you start with a clear understanding of the air. A test helps you see what is really going on before taking action.

An air quality test can detect several common indoor pollutants, including fine particles, mould, excess humidity and carbon dioxide. These are among the contaminants documented by Health Canada as relevant to indoor air. Measuring them shows precisely where to focus any corrective steps.

 

Yes, humidity has a real effect on your indoor air quality. Levels that are too high encourage mould and dust mites, while air that is too dry can irritate the respiratory tract. Keeping humidity within a healthy range therefore plays an important part in maintaining good indoor air.

If the test reveals a problem, the right fix depends on the contaminant involved. Depending on the situation, it may mean improving ventilation, controlling humidity, cleaning ducts or replacing filters. We help you identify the most suitable solution for your home.
